There are a lot of cops in this country and every one of them carries a modern handgun of some kind. Most of these guns are seldom fired, but carried habitually, and these guns are updated with new models every few years. What happens to the old guns? Usually, they're purchased en masse by a wholesale gun broker, which makes sense in that a good chunk of money goes back to the city or county that bought them in the first place. The wholesaler puts them on the market at a price point that will sell them fast. Your local dealer can buy them for sale to you. I never met a handgunner who didn't have room for one more good pistol in his or her battery, as long as it was priced right. Browsing through the latest circular from Zander's of Illinois, I find a veritable candy store of guns that once rode in John Law's holster somewhere in this nation. There are several kinds of Berettas and about as many kinds of SIGs, as well as HKs, Glocks and S&Ws. All of them are in Good or Very Good condition and attractively priced. The firm's aggressive buyers even uncovered a small cache of brand-new, unfired commercial Colt 1911A1 .45s, made in the 1950s. They want a little more for those.
